Climate Change and Town Planning: An Anthropological Assessment of Urban Morphology

Abstract

The title of the research is Climate Change and Town Planning: An Anthropological Assessment of Urban Morphology. Climate change has a significant impact on urban systems all over the world. Even said, it may be possible for humanity to work together to decrease the severity of these effects. Particularly in Islamabad, Pakistan, the population they sustain, the services they provide, and urban systems as a whole will all be significantly impacted by this. Our understanding of how to modify the urban design to accommodate climate change is the primary driving force behind this study. By highlighting the role that institutions play in the process of integrating climate change considerations into urban planning decisions and practices, the study aims to advance knowledge. Altering fuel and energy consumption patterns also has an impact on how much pollution produced by human settlements. The researcher will gather qualitative data from participants. An interview guide and a self-administered questionnaire will be used as a tool for data collection. In addition, field observation will also be utilized as a method and source of data collection. This study will investigate issues/challenges in which tools like urban planning regimes around the globe have access to and use plan-making, stakeholder interaction, development management, and design standards. The results of the key informant interviews are in line with both the current urban environment and the master plan to promote a healthy built environment. Informants emphasize that lack of resources; Infrastructure Development and low awareness of climate resilience are the main obstacles to putting sustainable urban planning into exercise.
